Beano and Gordon have had another fight

I posted this thread not so long ago about my bonded pair suddenly fighting:

I had to separate and re bond in a neutral area, they rebonded fine but this morning just after I got up I was watching them and Beano is quite a nippy bun and Gordon hopped out the litter tray by her and she nipped him and then started chasing him, they began to fight so I separated and they wouldn't be back together without chasing, nipping, biting and lunging/jumping at eachother again so I had to shut Gordon in the crate and Beano out as I had to get to work. I've not long been back and I watched how they were interacting near each other so opened the crate and so far so good, they were a bit funny when they first went back up to each other but since they've both been eating hay from the same litter tray, I just hope they will be ok, don't know what could be causing them to be funny around each other all of a sudden? :( There's been no changes around them and neither is showing any signs of ill health, not even the slightest behaviour change or anything.
 
There must be something in the water, as a few people have had this problem lately.. myself included. I don't know what to suggest :(
 
Sorry to hear you've experienced this too, hope your bunnies have settled again?
 
Have they both had a Vet check recently ? Whilst you say there has been 'no signs of ill health' sometimes the only sign is a change in behaviour/dynamics of a bond
 
They have, shortly after their last fight, nothing was found to be wrong. They're happily munching hay in their litter tray atm, I hope it stays this way.
 
I will ring tomorrow then. I have fully checked them both over again and can't see anything wrong myself, but obviously I'm not a vet nor do I have the tools vets have! They've been in the pen I bought the previous fall out in the kitchen since this morning and have been fine, back to how they would usually act, can't understand it!
